To me the big issue and the reason you don't see that many minority actors begins with casting... not enough big roles are given to the many amazing minority actors out there. You can make a good case for every actor nominated this year...it's no shot at them, but you end up with few minority nominees because there aren't that many key roles cast to minority actors. The Wire was absolutely loaded with spectacular performances...hell two of those guys really could have been nominated this year (Jordan for Creed and Elba for Beasts of No Nation) and gave a great showcase for a ton of minority actors (and nonminority actors who also did some great work on the show).

I'm retracting my statement because I'd really like this thread to stay on track if at all possible. We can have another race debate in the politics forum.
